Siheyuan: After becoming a traitor, first let the Huai Ru River overflow its banks.

"I never expected that someone as morally exemplary as him would do something like this."

Ma Sijiu's wife immediately began to embellish the story.

"So, after Lao Jia died, Jia Dongxu took over, and then Yi Zhonghai tried every means to take him on as his apprentice and even wanted to train him to be his successor in his old age."

"Would you do this if it weren't your own son?"

The woman nodded.

"You're right. It seems they are related."

Ma Sijiu's wife still had to do what Li Jianjun instructed.

"Actually, you can't blame Yi Zhonghai for this. Who made Jia Zhangshi so charming?"

"Didn't you notice that when Jia Zhangshi walked, her little steps swayed back and forth? Even though she was over 60 years old, there was still endless charm in her eyes and brows."

The woman seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"You know what, it's really true."

People usually don't pay attention to this, but after Ma Sijiu's wife guided them like this, it's easy for them to think in this direction.

"This Jia Zhangshi is quite the restless one. Women with that kind of appearance generally have a very strong sexual desire..."

"I heard that when her period started, she was taken away and forced into that kind of thing."

This completely shattered the woman's worldview.

"What?! No way? Such a thing? Why have I never heard of this before, even though I've been married into this family for so long?"

Ma Sijiu's wife slapped the woman on the shoulder.

"Are you stupid? If you did something so shameful, would you go out on the street and shout it out?"

The woman then realized what was happening.

Ma Sijiu's wife's stories became increasingly bizarre.

Similarly, Li Weiguo's wife was also spreading the news in the courtyard.

As the saying goes, good things don't go out, bad things travel thousands of miles.

Over the past two days, rumors have been circulating that Jia Zhangshi and Yi Zhonghai were having an affair.

There are even more reliable reports that Jia Zhangshi used to have a job that was despised by everyone.

There weren't many elderly people in this courtyard to begin with, and naturally, not many knew Jia Zhangshi's background.

So the more the story spread, the more bizarre it became.

That evening, the news reached Qin Huairu's ears, and she was furious.

Last time, because of the matter between my mother-in-law and Sha Zhu, some people started gossiping.

Although Jia Zhangshi married Sha Zhu, everyone knew that she was Old Jia's wife before.

Besides, they now have this grandson, Bang Geng.

After hearing the rumors, Qin Huairu felt she couldn't face anyone anymore. She rushed to Sha Zhu's house and started cursing Jia Zhangshi.

"Tell me, is this rumor circulating on the street true or not? Are you having an affair with that old man?"

"Also, isn't Dongxu the son of that old man?"

Recently, these rumors have been reaching Jia Zhangshi's ears from time to time, and Jia Zhangshi is almost furious.

She's the one who spreads rumors about others all the time; how could she possibly understand the helplessness others feel when they're the ones being slandered?

At this moment, Jia Zhangshi was so angry that smoke was billowing from her seven orifices.

"Who the hell is gossiping behind my back? When did I ever get involved with Yi Zhonghai? This is utter nonsense!"

Jia Zhangshi also has a particularly loud voice.

This was overheard by Sha Zhu, who had just returned from outside.

"What? Jia Zhangshi, you've gotten together with Yi Zhonghai?"

Chapter 171 Sha Zhu Wants to Divorce Jia Zhangshi

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Shazhu.

He regarded Yi Zhonghai as his savior, but what was going on with this situation?

As soon as Jia Zhangshi saw Sha Zhu enter the door, she immediately felt guilty.

The rumor had spread throughout the entire courtyard, but only Sha Zhu was kept in the dark.

Who would speak ill of someone in front of them?

Sha Zhu felt that as he walked past, people were pointing and whispering behind his back.

But he didn't understand what others were saying.

Now that these words came from Jia Zhangshi's mouth, he finally understood what was going on.

"Fine, you Jia Zhangshi, you're not a virtuous woman, you're not content with your lot, come with me to get a divorce right now."

Although this happened in the past, Sha Zhu wanted to use it as an excuse to divorce Jia Zhangshi.

Only by divorcing Jia Zhangshi can he pursue his own happy life.

This woman is a stumbling block to my pursuit of a happy life.

Jia Zhangshi chickened out.

“Zhu Zi, it’s not what you think. I have nothing to do with Yi Zhonghai. Jia Dongxu is not Yi Zhonghai’s child.”

Unfortunately, Sha Zhu was convinced that Jia Zhangshi had cheated on him, and regardless of whether it was true or not, he wanted to divorce her.

Jia Zhangshi realized that she was in deep trouble.

She must have been the victim of rumors.

The more she remains silent about this baseless accusation and the huge label she's being falsely accused of, the more it shows she has something to hide.

So Jia Zhangshi simply squatted on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.

Qin Huairu was truly impressed.

"What's the point of throwing a tantrum on the ground if you don't explain the shameful things you've done?"

Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu both questioned Jia Zhangshi, and at this time, onlookers came over to watch the commotion.

"I didn't, I didn't have anything to do with Yi Zhonghai... I didn't become that kind of person either..."

"This is all a lie..."

More and more people gathered around the area; they were all there purely to watch the spectacle.

Some people have always disliked Jia Zhangshi.

"They spend all day spreading rumors about others, and now they're getting what they deserve."

"Do you really believe that Jia Zhangshi is innocent? Maybe it is true, and she is just trying to confuse the public."

"The louder you cry and the more you make a scene, the more it proves your innocence."

Everyone started mocking Jia Zhangshi, one after another.

Although Qin Huairu was not mentioned at all, and although Qin Huairu was also flirting with men.

But now, it might affect their own hamburger.

In her haste, Qin Huairu spoke without thinking.

"Don't drag our Jia family into talking about her anymore. She's married to Sha Zhu now, and has nothing to do with our Jia family."

Qin Huairu, who used to flirt with men and string them along, is rarely seen being so serious.

She kept saying that Jia Zhangshi had nothing to do with her, but that was just an attempt to eliminate Jia Zhangshi's influence on Banggeng.

Madam Jia was both ashamed and angry.

She can no longer have children, and she has lost her son, so she is counting on her grandson, Banggeng.

That little vixen, Qin Huairu, is getting bolder and bolder.

Without thinking twice, Sha Zhu grabbed a cart, threw Jia Zhangshi onto it, and, holding the household registration book, went to divorce her.

Yi Zhonghai kept this farce to himself at home and pretended not to hear it.

Rumors are flying everywhere right now, and as an old man, he should indeed be in charge, but since the rumors are related to him, the more he tries to intervene, the more chaotic things become.

Some people might say that he's on Jia Zhangshi's side, and that he must be having an affair with her.

In short, the wisest course of action is to stay home and not go out.

“Old Yi, it’s not a good idea for you not to go out. The Jia Zhang family is making a huge fuss outside.”

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong went directly to Yi Zhonghai's house.

Yi Zhonghai is still in a terrible mood.

Ever since this rumor came out, an older woman has been arguing with him and hasn't spoken to him for a day now; no one knows where she went.

“If I go out, will she stop making a fuss? Lao Liu and Lao Yan, you two know me well. I’m not that kind of person at all.”

Liu Haizhong really wanted Yi Zhonghai to fall from power, so he could live a life of luxury.

Yan Bugui, a typical nice guy, comforted Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yi, we've been living in the same courtyard for so many days, who doesn't know who?"

"In my opinion, there's no smoke without fire; someone is definitely trying to spread rumors about you."

Yi Zhonghai had already guessed this without Yan Bugui even needing to say it.

Since Sha Zhu left the police station and went straight home, Li Jianjun must have received the news.

Yi Zhonghai was absolutely certain that the rumor was fabricated by Li Jianjun.

However, he still couldn't do anything about Li Jianjun.

The more you explain something that's completely fabricated, the more complicated it becomes.
